Abstract
Ageing at home is a cultural reality. Home carries an emotional weight, and even more so as we age. Furthermore, our home may be a protective envelope, a narcissistic image of ourselves and a territory to share. However, the perspective of new types of "home", better adapted to the elderly, is taking shape, as is the moving of boundaries between the institution and home.
